IN-PERSON:

Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Support Center

Course Description

This course will review current neuroscience research on neuroplasticity and the role of therapy in facilitating brain maturation, reorganization, and recovery. The focus will be on our current knowledge about the human brain as an experience-dependent organ and the environmental, genetic and cognitive/perceptual effects on brain development and recovery after injury. The course will review in practical terms how therapists facilitate and maximize maturation and recovery through synaptic and axonal proliferation, pruning, and consolidation. Specific PT, OT and SLP interventions for dyslexia, autism spectrum disorders, language impairment, sensory and motor disorders as well as brain injuries that have neuroscience-based evidence will be reviewed.
